Guardian Camera Club: Anthony Davis on depth of field

Anthony Davis participates in the depth of field assignment.
These images are all made on a 105mm lens set at f3.2. 'Apple a day' is a classic long lens street shot, the backs of the other people form a context for the girl; 'We are here' works differently, as the background is simpler, and the women's similar hats and glasses add a nice touch. Less camera to subject distance has blurred the background in 'Landing', and with its soft colours, it's a lovely image, try losing the railings though. 'Carved' uses colour to separate the subjects, as well as focus; 'Oxford Street' is a well caught moment, full of detail. The best photo here is the low light 'Commuter', one eye gazing briefly into the lens, it's superb. Lots of observant pictures here, and good ideas too
